Americans have been conditioned since a young age that they can’t do anything about what the government does. The population has been subdued while teaching them of freedoms and liberties while never questioning whether those things apply to them. The tools are there but they’re all brainwashed.
Because we teach kids all about civil liberties while mostly ignoring civic duty.
Civil liberties are 100% dependent on citizens completing basic civic duties. If people aren’t willing to do the bare minimum (like vote), then we end with a society of people who just want all the good stuff and none of the responsibility. Which is pretty much where we’re at today.
do not get me started we lost our only single men’s shelter in the region because the no one else on the homelessness program’s board of directors wanted to fight a reputation war against a pedophile priest that we would have won, but it would have cost enough political capital (basically, we’d have lost 3 donors) that we would have had to delay opening our new shelter we were building (the one on my street) by two months!
that’s pretty generous of you; i would say it’s more like a majority given at how much americans are just letting it go.
